If the songs have downloaded and the playlist is set to offline you definitely shouldn't need your date. Is the playlist on spotify marked as offline? It'll be highlighted green if it is and your phone should start telling you it's accepting the download. 

If that's all gone to plan then I'd suggest flagging it as a bug here and contacting Spotify care directly.

If you get an automated reply email telling you to check the Knowledgebase or the Spotify Community, you need to reply back to it, even if it's from a no-reply address. Spotify Support usually replies within 24-48 hours.

This might help though: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Spotify-Community-Blog/Post-of-the-Week-Downloading-playlists-on-iP...

Also, I read before that if your phone doesn't have enough storage on it it won't download. How much free space do you have?
